If you purchase video monitoring or video monitoring services such as Visual Verification, a connected doorbell, camera, image sensor, or other connected device or wearable or subscribe to two-way voice, you may enable Our service providers, or your central station, to record, store, view and process video and/or audio recordings from your monitoring equipment.  This may include capturing and sending to you portions of this data as part of a notification or analyzing the data to identify motion or other events.  This information from your monitoring equipment may be processed so that alerts can be sent to you.  In addition, if you have the recording features enabled on these video products or services, video and audio data recordings from your device will be captured, processed, and stored by applicable service providers, and you may be able to access those recordings. 

Important Note on Video Devices: Data protection and privacy laws may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of security cameras, connected doorbells and other devices with recording capabilities. You alone are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws.  For example, you may need to display a notice alerting visitors to your home or business that they may be recorded using security cameras and other devices with recording capabilities.  We take no responsibility for your compliance with these laws.

We offer products and services from other companies and GreenMarbles.com contains links to websites not operated by Us.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.  If you purchase such products and services and/or visit these third-party sites, you should check their applicable privacy policies to determine how they treat user information.  We strive to protect your information off-line as well.  We restrict access to information to those employees who need to process your account such as a customer service representative or financial personnel.

Your Choices

Account Information

You may update, correct or delete information about you or limit Our processing of data about you at any time by emailing Us at support@greenmarbles.com. Note that We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, and there may be some cases in which We cannot provide access to certain information. We may require you to verify your identity before We provide you with access to your personal information.

Location Information

When you first launch the Alarm.com app on your mobile device, you will be asked to consent to Our collection of this information. If you initially consent to Our collection of location information, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the preferences on your mobile device. If you do so, certain features of GreenMarbles.com may no longer function. You may also stop Our collection of location information by following the standard uninstall process to remove the Alarm.com app from your device.

Some features of the Services use location-based information to enable geo-fencing capabilities (e.g., to send arming reminders or adjust the thermostat when you are a designated distance from home).  When you opt-in to activate these geo-fencing services, location information will automatically be collected and stored by Our service providers from your Personal Device you designate which is capable of producing location data.  This location information may include your current location or places you recently visited and may be aggregated for a contractor’s internal purposes only.  Do not enable geo-fencing features if you do not want location-based information to be collected by Our service providers.

Local Storage, Cookies and Web Beacons

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. In many cases, if you prefer, you can disable certain cookies through your web browser's privacy settings.  Cookies are required for the proper functioning of GreenMarbles.com and applications.  Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of GreenMarbles.com and applications.

Some web browsers can also transmit “Do Not Track” signals that indicate that a user does not wish to have activity tracked. A Do Not Track (DNT) standard has not yet been adopted, and therefore GreenMarbles.com does not honor DNT signals at this time.  We also allow some third parties to place cookies on Our websites. When you visit Our websites, third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services, including cookies and beacons.

We may utilize local storage, cookies, and web beacons to better target Our services.  Data placed in “Local Storage” is per domain and persists after the browser is closed.  “Cookies” are small identifiers sent from a web server that are stored on your computer’s hard drive for the purpose of identifying your browser during interaction on GreenMarbles.com.  “Web beacons” are invisible electronic images, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF, which can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed.  All of these tools can assist Us in collecting data related to your use of GreenMarbles.com, tracking customer trends and patterns, seeing which areas and features of GreenMarbles.com are popular and counting visits, and help Us address technical issues.  These tools do not contain any personal data, they do not damage your files, and they do not allow Us or anyone else to access your personally identifiable information.  These tools may contain such information as an IP address, DNS host name, and/or browser type.  Cookies can also identify you on future visits to GreenMarbles.com, making navigation easier and allowing you to bypass the process of re-entering certain information each time you access GreenMarbles.com.

If you wish to prevent web beacons, most web browsers have a help option that will explain how to reject them.

Promotional Communications

Mail

You may receive marketing solicitations via postal mail from Us or Our joint marketing partners or other authorized third parties. To opt out of such communications, please contact Us using the email address in the “Contact Us” section.

Email

You may receive email communications from Us in connection with your use of Our products and services, such as when you sign up for the products and services.

Social Media Communications

We use social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to communicate with you about Our programs and services. You can follow Us on these social media sites to receive regular updates. These sites also allow Us to present specific advertisements to you based on the personal information that both We and the social media sites maintain about you. We may share your personal information with social media sites for the purpose of providing you with customized ads. In some states, this may be considered a “sale” unless the social media site is acting as Our “service provider” as that term is defined by law.

Mobile Push Notifications/Alerts

With your consent, We may send promotional and non-promotional push notifications or alerts to your Personal Device. You can deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your Personal Device.

We may use cookies and other information to provide interest-based ads to you which are based on your browsing behavior and are more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing Our site or third-party sites not owned by Us.

Your California Privacy Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) 

If you are a California resident, as set forth below, you have specific rights with respect to your personal information that is collected by companies.  

Sharing and Sale of Personal Information

We share personal information for legitimate business purposes. We are not a data broker and do not share personal information with data brokers, which are businesses that knowingly collect and sell to third parties the personal information of an individual with whom the business does not have a direct relationship. We do not sell personal information as the term is traditionally understood (i.e., We do not exchange personal information directly for monetary consideration).

However, certain activities such as allowing third-party cookies on Our websites, sharing information for purposes of Internet-based advertising, and/or maintaining certain relationships through which We work to bring you non-affiliate products may be considered a "sale" under the CCPA. To opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please see “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Info” section below.

We disclose and/or sell (under the definitions in the CCPA) the following categories of personal information: commercial Information, Internet or other network activity, geolocation data, inferences drawn from personal information, and other types of personal information.

We disclose for a business purpose or sell the above categories of personal information to: Our subsidiaries and affiliates; internet service providers and social media networks; data analytics providers; joint marketing partners who perform activities at Our direction; affiliates and vendors that interact with Us in connection with the goods We offer and the services We perform; non-affiliated vendors or agencies, such as subcontractors providing requested goods and services, payment processors, and customer survey administrators; third parties to whom you or your agents authorize Us to disclose your personal information; and regulators and governmental authorities.

·       Provide enough information so that We may verify your identity as the person about whom We collected personal information.

·       Describe your request with sufficient detail such that We may properly understand, process, and respond.

While an account with Us is not necessary to submit a verifiable consumer request, if you maintain a password-protected account with Us, We may verify your identity via existing authentication practices.
